Status Data Unit Enhancement for Retransmission of Packets in Handover Procedure

2. The wireless node of claim 1, wherein the handover comprises a dual-active protocol stack (DAPS) handover.

3. The wireless node of claim 1, wherein the message comprises a data unit status message.

5. The wireless node of claim 1, wherein the at least one first packet and the at least one second packet are encoded using a robust header compression (RoHC) protocol.

6. The wireless node of claim 1, wherein a sequence number associated with each of the at least one first packet is greater than a sequence number associated with each of the at least one second packet.

8. The wireless node of claim 1, wherein the receiver is further configured to receive at least one third packet of the sequence of packets from the source cell, the at least one third packet being self-decodable.

11. The wireless node of claim 1, wherein the processing system is further configured to determine that at least one third packet was not received from the source cell, the at least one third packet being self-decodable, wherein the processing system is further configured to generate the message to request retransmission for the at least one third packet from the target cell.

12. The wireless node of claim 1, wherein the message comprises a bitmap including a plurality of bits, wherein each respective bit of the plurality of bits corresponds to a respective packet of the sequence of packets, wherein to generate the message, the processing system is further configured to set the respective bits associated with the at least one first packet and the at least one second packet.

19. The method of claim 13, wherein the message comprises a bitmap including a plurality of bits, wherein each respective bit of the plurality of bits corresponds to a respective packet of the sequence of packets, wherein generating the message comprises setting the respective bits associated with the at least one first packet and the at least one second packet.
